I'm sooo sorry! I know it's been a long time since I last updated but college started again.

I only have one exam left (for this semester) so there's time for some downtime.

Updates will be more regular now! And please write me in the comments what you think or if you have any wishes for this story for the future!

Beep…

Beep…

Beep…

A steady rhythm what should be soothing but … God was it annoying!

Toni tried to focus on something else, but there wasn't much. She was barely able to hold on to her cousciesness but after a couple of more beep-beep-beep-filled minutes she managed to crack her eyes a bit open.

All she could see was white. White walls, white ceiling …. white.

A hospital, Toni concluded. Okay, that left a multiple of possibilities.

She could a) got hurt in a battle, b) had an accident in the lab/workshop or c) she drunk herself comatose. Again.

She could rule a) out. She was not nearly in enough pain for that. For c) she felt not enough like shit.

That leaves her with b) – lab accident. She tried to remember what happened.

She had a fight with Steve, eh Rogers. And then she argued with Pepper … wasn't Bruce there?

Did she had a fight with Bruce, too?

Irghs, she started to get a headache. What's saying a lot considering that one of the many things the doctors must have hooked her up should probably be painkillers.

Toni tried to move to get out of there. But just as she had swunf one leg of the bed were there two hands on her shoulders. Were did these come from? They were big hands. Her eyes went from them to two , very muscular, arms to a pair of broad shoulders. And then she saw a blond mop.

A blond mop with two stunningly blue eyes. Eyes that looked at her with their famous dissappointment.

Great. Even in a hospital I can't escape those.
